Yang Elected Freshman Class President
ELECTIONS
by MEGAN TAYLOR
QC Managing Editor
Vicki Yang was chosen freshman class president in elections
held the last two days. Results,
announced Wednesday evening,
name Courtney Catron as vice-
president, Billy Pierro as secretary and Greg McCandless as treasurer.
This includes only two of the
four self-named "Fire Squad," a
team of four freshman who were
running together.
According to senior Steven
"Wally" Rosales, COR secretary
and election committee chair, 138
official ballots were cast. This
represents almost 42% of the freshman class. This is a seven percentage point decline in voter turnout since last year.
Rosales said that the election
went fairly smoothly. "There were
three violations, all minor. No
action was taken."
Yang, from Phoenix, AZ, said
her main goal for this year is "to
make sure that the freshman class
has a lot of fun."
Yang explained, "I know it's a
lot of work and alot of stress. ..but
I enjoy being in student government and planning." She added
that student government may be
stressful, but its the kind of stress
she enjoys. "I wouldn't do it if it
wasn't fun," said Yang.
Her high school experience
includes being senior class president and vice president of National Honor Society.
Ideas Yang has for the year's
events include a bonfire at the
beach, excursions to places like
Magic Mountain or Disneyland,
and movie and pizza nights.
"I hope that everyone participates. If the freshman class wants
it to be fun, they have to make it
fun," Yang said.
Freshman class Vice-President Catron was student body president of her Pheonix, AZ area high
school. She also had three years
of experience in student government.
Catron decided to get involved
because she likes "planning activities. I' ve done it throughout high
school. I want to see the freshman
class unite."
Pierro, from Henderson, NV,
was chosen as secretary. His high
school involvement includes being sophomore class treasurer and
student body president and vice
president, as well as being active
in numerous clubs, activities and
sports.
"I just want to get the freshman class involved and knowing
what is going on." Pierro added
that a priority was "keeping everyone informed."
McCandless, elected to the

QC Editor-in-Chief
Whittier is again this year experiencing a rise in "soft" drug
use; five suspicious circumstances were reported and two people
were cited for marijuana use the
first weekend of the academic
year, according to student life officials.
Officials are concerned, but
not all are alarmed by the rise,
citing a national three-year trend
of increasing marijuana use on
college campuses.
"We are seeing an increase
just as every other institution
across the country is. There appears to be a 30% increase (na
tionwide)," said Dave Leonard,
the associate dean of students.
Leonard was referring to an
average found in the national
weekly newspaper, the Chronicle
of Higher Education. The Chronicle found a 34% increase in drug
violations at colleges, after receiving information from 800 colleges for 1993, the latest year statistics were available, according to a
July 22, 1995 article.
Whittier experienced a nearly
three-fold increase in the number
of drug violations between 1993
and 1994, according to the Uniform Crime Report, compiled by
Campus Safety.
The start of this year is a concern to Campus Safety Chief Ed
Malone.
"It's very alarming to me,"
said Malone, chief for four years.
"Any officer will tell you that if
you have a significant drug problem you also have theft^nd other

activities in high school include
taking part in student council as
athletic commissioner and as a

a main concern for this year was
"getting done what [the freshman]
want done. I want to be open."
Both McCandless and Pierro
were running as a part of the "Fire

were not elected. McCandless
explained that the four chose to

were elected... They're all very
responsible. We can adequately
represent all of the factions of
